But let's take the Illinois Policy Institute's numbers. As I said, it's still less than one-half of one percent. Isn't that what you'd call a . . . rounding error? In fact, statistically it may be within themargin of error. In other words, that many people may have moved to Illinois as left.

But let's assume their figures are correct. If nothing else, it's very misleading to hang your whole "turnaround agenda" on. (Turnaround agenda, by the way, is a euphemism for "redistributing wealth up," to people like Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner and the Kochs.)

So this whole "EVERYONE'S LEAVING ILLINOIS!" meme is, at the very least, disingenuous. But it should make you ask yourself, if they're misleading you on this, what else are they misleading you on?
